Bigger is NOT Better!

Somebody please tell me why strawberry producers have decided we want strawberries the size of lemons. They didn't ask ME! Have you shopped for strawberries lately? All I've been able to find are humongous red things that certainly do NOT resemble the berries of my youth. These "strawberries" have a terrible texture, are hollow in the middle, have little flavor and almost no juice. UGH! I think I've figured it out, though. If they make the strawberries really, really big, it takes a lot less time to pick and fill whatever container they're filling. That's what it comes down to. Money. And, here I am, craving the small, sweet, flavorful berries of my youthful summers. Guess I'd better find a strawberry jar and grow my own next season. It's like most everything else. If you want it done right, you've got to do it yourself!
